About the Composer

Béla Bartók

This composer, who numbers among the most important musical figures in the first half of the twentieth century, is known principally for his research into Hungarian folk music, the elements of which he incorporated into his style. His broad oeuvre includes numerous works for orchestra, piano, and chamber ensembles, as well as choral music; songs with piano accompaniment; and an opera.

Die von langer Hand umsichtig geplante Vorbereitung setzt die Editoren der Gesamtausgabe jetzt in den Stand, auch auf ältere Forschungserträge des Bartók-Archivs zurückgreifen zu können. In Umfang und Gestaltung der Ausgabe - der einführende Kommentar liegt in englischer, ungarischer und deutscher Sprache vor, die Anmerkungen im Notenteil, die Anhänge (mit Übersetzung sämtlicher Liedtexte) und der Kritische Bericht auf Englisch - haben Herausgeber und Verlage keine Mühe gescheut; man darf freudig gespannt auf die folgenden Bände sein und den Verlagen danken für die umgehende Bereitstellung auch einer Zweitverwertung eines Teils der Editionsergebnisse in Form preisgünstiger, praktischer Ausgaben (HN 1225 und 1226).

Die Tonkunst, 2018

The current volume sets the bar high for the rest of the series as it has to deal with the fact that there are two different versions of For children. It publishes them side by side which makes for very easy comparison. (...) The publication concludes with a critical commentary of illuminating richness, adressing the exact source of each melody, the various differences between versions and interpretations of obvious misprints and lacunae. Henle/EMB must als be credited, in these days of cultural austerity, for producing a volume of outstanding beauty and robustness. Bound in a subtle blue/green cloth with embossed silver lettering and stitched binding, the book is a pleasure to hold. The musical text is clear and elegant and invites performance.
